For pharmacists only!! Thank you!!?
I just got accepted into columbus state community college where i am doing a transfer science program... after those two years I am going to Toledo University to become a pharmacists but i have some questions... 1. first of all will the two years in community college focusing on science and math help me? 2. Is there really competition for pharmacists? I always thought that there wasn't because they are in such high demand? 3. At what age did you graduate and was it easy to find a suitable place for you to work? 4. Be completely honest! I know pharmacy school is hard but exactly how hard? Thank- you so much!!

For reliable information about pharmacy check the website of the AACP - that is the official national organization that coordinates info about all accredited US schools of pharm. In theory, at least, you can get into pharm school from community college, but the competition is tough. You will need excellent grades in all the prerequiste courses. Usually prereqs are a year of bio with lab, a year of general chem with lab, a year of organic chem with lab, and some other courses. There is a big demand for pharmacists so the money for pharmacists is great - they make about $80,000 a year or more. But there are only about 80 colleges of pharm in the USA (out of more than 1500 universities) and many of them are rather small, so there are just not very many spaces for students who want to enter these schools. That's why you need to have top grades and top recommendations, as well as a high score on the difficult PCAT test (similar to SAT but much harder). The courses in pharm school are pretty hard and involve a lot of difficult materials - kind of like very advanced biology and chem. Becoming a pharmacist is a great career, but you need to be dedicated and hardworking and smart to make this dream come true. Good luck.
